Can we please get rid of....

Can we please get rid of SWAT Magnums and Hot Potato. Nobody ever votes for them. I want to be able to vote for what map I want to play on. Having only one choice for normal SWAT defeats the purpose of voting. I’m tired of doing the same maps over and over again.

… Sorry I still play all of the above. I guess nobody replied to this then.

You know, I played plenty of swat. I find it unfair that I love swat magnums but according to your game history… It feels like the people you play with choose it more often than the people I play with. Maybe I love it because absence makes the heart grow fonder? Either way, I think it’s unfair for you to say “no one ever votes for them”

I love swat magnums, always vote for it when I play swat on a different account.

I used to LOVE Magnums when I still played swat. Never really was a fan of them adding in objective types, and swat in general has gotten dumb, and just turned into “let’s see who can jump the most”.

SWAT Magnum…sorry buddy, ain’t gonna happen. I play as well as a lot of ppl. Hot Potato on the other hand, after two years of playing Reach, I have never played that before.

I vote for SWAT magnums and SWAT potato all the time.

I want to get rid of normal SWAT. That’s boring and defeats the chance of getting to play SWAT objective!

SWAT Potato on Zealot I assume?

I know what you do on there!

Needle Rifle Swat > Swat

Competitive, broken, fun, and balanced all at once! Pink explosions for everyone! Headshots are for pros, but explosions? GOML.

I wouldn’t mind the playlist if they would just fix the pistol’s default accuracy.

Now I expect a decrease in accuracy due to recoil from spamming. However; with a stationary target I can place my DMR reticule on their head and get the headshot every time. If I place a stationary target and aim at the head with my pistol (Not zoomed), the chance of missing isn’t huge, but noticable.

While I ackowledge host will get some advantage in SWAT, I think SWAT is supposed to be about how quickly the player can aim at their opponent’s head and fire. In Pistols I may well be the quicker player to aim at the head and fire, but can still die due to my shot missing because of the pistol’s lower accuracy.

So in my opinion SWAT Magnums adds too much luck to SWAT, it is fine if you disagree with me though. SWAT will never be a perfect playlist unless Halo starts running deticated servers removing the host advantage.

Magnums is good for challenges that are based on small arms fire

Most of the time everyone just jumps around in swat magnums, it’s really irritating. Similarly is how you can be aiming at someones head but if they have their back to you and are running away it’s harder to get that headshot. Movement bobbing shouldn’t change the gameplay. Last time I played swat it was to get the 5 precision wep kills challenge a few days ago, first two games magnums got voted for and I was up against full teams which I hate, so half way through the first I quit, next game another full team I didn’t even bother waiting, before the voting ended I dashboarded. Sorry but I don’t care if my teams got screwed or not, I don’t feel like playing that boring -Yoink-. Normal swat has the magnum if you want that just switch weapons.

It’s been a long time since i played hot potato, is that oddball swat? Always a lot of fun that one.

Kind of, it is the Oddball gametype, but the ball is the bomb from Assault and it explodes randomly.

I can’t remember if you can sprint with the bomb. If I remember corectly, you could also run with the ball. I do also agree it was fun, but I don’t play SWAT as often as I should…
